2. A drawing for partners will normally be held during the meeting preceding

the tournament weekend unless the Tournament Committee deems to choose another date due to time span, etc. Two contestants will be assigned to each boat.

A member will only be authorized to hold-out twice per tournament year, with exceptions given by the executive committee. Members requesting to fish with a guest will be left out of the tournament draw and will be drawn after regular club members. The last boat in the draw will be the starter of the tournament and will begin the tournament as directed by a tournament committee member. A member who wishes to fish a tournament but cannot attend the drawing must make prior arrangements with a club member to enter their name in the drawing. Non-boaters who are not drawn for the monthly tournament, due to a lack of boaters, will not be charged monthly dues for that month, providing they do not fish. Also, all non-boaters who are not paired with a boater shall be the first non-boaters drawn for the following months tournament and must be paired with a boater until all non-boaters have missed at least one tournament.

counted on the score of another contestant. In such cases, both contestants will be disqualified from the tournament.

4. Tournament fees will be paid prior to the draw of the next tournament.

5. Double draw: No two members will fish together in consecutive months,

because of the draw. There are two exceptions:

The Tournament Committee has the right to disqualify anyone they deem absolutely necessary for safety purposes. Any protest or violations of tournament rules will be registered with the Tournament Committee prior to the close of the weigh -in and official announcement of the winners.

G. Boat Operation and Expenses:

1. Fishing partners are expected to work out satisfactory arrangements

between themselves as to the use of the boat and motor and operational

expenses thereof. Expenses will be equally shared. Factors such as

distance to the lake, size of engine, who pulls the boat, etc., should all

be factors to be considered when determining an equitable cost to be

shared. It is further recommended that a mutual agreement be

established between contestants prior to the day of the tournament.

2. Partners must have the opportunity to select the fishing sites for the

day and run the trolling motor for half the time. Any contestant

1. All contestants must be at the check- in point at or before the announced deadline even if they don’t weigh in any fish. For every minute after the deadline that a contestant is late checking in, they will be penalized 16 ounces of the day’s total weight. Any contestant checking in at the dock more than 15 minutes late shall lose all credit points for that day. (No penalty will be assessed if a boat has to be towed in. This applies to both

the towed boat and the towing boat.) 2. Failure to pay at least 50 percent of the tournament expenses of boat partner

or other mutually agreed upon amount of the tournament expenses can result in the contestant not being allowed to fish other tournaments until the expenses are paid.

J. Number and Size of Fish:

1. Florida law determines the limit of bass per day per contestant, or

according to each lake’s regulations. Fish will be measured from the tip of the nose, with mouth closed, to tip of tail; tail may be pinched. All disputed fish will be measured with a “Golden Rule”. All fish meeting these criteria must be weighed in and become the property of the Tournament Committee to be released with the exception of “trophy fish (10 pounds or larger). These can be kept by the angler who caught them for the purpose of having a live mount. For all tournaments the minimum length for fish to be acceptable for weigh-in is twelve (12) inches. Any dead fish weighed in will constitute a 4 Oz (.25 Hd) deduction from the total weight.

2. During the tournament each contestant must keep their fish identifiably

separate from their partner’s.

K. Florida Permits (available at meeting or ramp) will be used for all

tournaments except:

1. When an unforeseen or emergency event would cause a last minute change of

the tournament lake.

L. Scoring:

1. Scoring for determination of monthly tournament winners, selection for Top

5 fisherman for Classic participation, the Classic Tournament, and angler of

the Year will be on the following basis:

2. Points will be awarded by weight at each monthly tournament ranging from 30 down to 1 (the fisherman with the highest weight receiving 30 points, the fisherman with the second highest weight receiving 29 points, etc.). Fishermen who do not weigh in fish will not receive any tournament points.

3. In case of a tie for any place at a monthly tournament or the Classic, the largest bass on each stringer will be used to determine the winner. Should a tie still exist, total fish weighed in will break the tie. If a tie still exists, points for the places in question shall be equally distributed by averaging points of the tied contestants. In the event of a tie for “BIG BASS,” the winner will be determined by the flip of a coin. The decision and interpretation by the Tournament Committee will be final.

a. Bonus points will be awarded as follows:

b. “BIG BASS ” will be awarded two points at each regular monthly

tournament. A tie for “BIG BASS ” will be broken by the flip of a coin. An additional two points will be added to the “BIG BASS ” award, for each full pound over five pounds. [a catch of 8 Lbs 4 Oz will be three full pounds over 5 Lbs, or 6 additional points.]

c. Six points will be awarded to each member fishing the 10 regular

monthly tournaments, January through October (maximum 60

points). Non-Boaters, in the draw, who are not paired with a

boater, due to a shortage of boats, will be awarded six (6)

tournament participation points if they do not fish.

d. One point will be awarded for each monthly meeting attended by

the fisherman, December through October (maximum of 11

points).

e. Only Largemouth Bass may be weighed in. Should a bass exhibit an

appearance that could question the authenticity of it’s being a legal

catch or show evidence of mutilation in order to increase its length, the

Tournament Committee will make the final decision concerning

acceptance of the fish for weigh- in.

f. In case of a tie between two or more fisherman for final standings at the end of the fishing year, the winner will be determined by the weight of their largest bass of the year caught in one of the ten official club tournaments. If a tie still exists, the determination will go to the person who weighed in the most fish during the ten regular club tournaments.

g. Status of individual members will be kept current and made available

to the general membership at the meeting following each tournament.

M. Tournaments:

1. There will be ten intra-club tournaments per calendar year. Each

away (2 day) tournament shall be counted and scored as 2

separate tournaments. Tournaments will occur January through

October however there will be no regular club tournaments during the

months of July and August. Preferably, the June tournament shall be a night

tournament. After dropping the tournament points for the two (2) low

6. The Classic Tournament will be held on the Saturday following the

meeting in November. The top 5 participants will vote upon the site

selection with the Tournament Director presiding over the meeting. The

site will be announced during the November meeting. If one of the Top 5

cannot fish, a replacement will move up from the standings (6th, 7

th, 8
